It's been a baby bonanza in Austin as the city's newest hospitals are rolling out the welcome mat for their tiniest Texans. On Monday, the glistening halls of Texas Children’s Hospital North Austin echoed the first cries of life.

 The hospital announced that the first baby born at the spanking new facility was a girl named Evie, tipping the scales at a healthy 7 pounds. The birth occurred at precisely 12:40 p.m., as reported by KXAN.

The competitive spirit of these medical institutions is palpable, laced with a tad of irony as they vie not for outcomes of grand medical breakthroughs, but for the simple, awe-inspiring privilege of welcoming new life.

It's a race marked not by the swift nor the strong but by the labors of expectant mothers and the precision of well-timed contractions. Texas Children’s Hospital, nestled in its Presidio neighborhood home at 9835 North Lake Creek Parkway, now gleams with the promise of future firsts to follow little Evie’s lead, as per KXAN.
